Truth Quotes
In woods where the woodsmen told lies, maybe it was the wolves who told the truth.
Anne Ursu
It appears to Nietzsche that the modern age has produced for imitation three types of man … First, Rousseau’s man, the Titan who raises himself … and in his need calls upon holy nature. Then Goethe’s man … a spectator of the world … Third Schopenhauer’s man … voluntarily takes upon himself the pain of telling the truth.
Georg Brandes
Don't despise empiric truth. Lots of things work in practice for which the laboratory has never found proof.
Martin H. Fischer
The truth is often a terrible weapon of aggression. It is possible to lie, and even to murder, with the truth.
Alfred Adler
I always speak the truth. Not the whole truth, because there's no way, to say it all. Saying it all is literally impossible: words fail. Yet it's through this very impossibility that the truth holds onto the real.
Jacques Lacan
If you ever want to get the facts straight about me or the Batman, please write to the original source, myself, for the truth, instead of second guessing.
Bob Kane
Every soul, the philosopher says, is involuntarily deprived of truth; consequently in the same way it is deprived of justice and temperance and benevolence and everything of the kind. It is most necessary to keep this in mind, for thus thou wilt be more gentle towards all.
Marcus Aurelius
Herzen was closer to the truth when he said that every memory calls up a dozen others. The real miracle of Proust is the discipline with which he stemmed the flow. Everything is a Madeleine.
Clive James
What people want out of their politicians is exactly the same thing that I want - somebody who is approachable, willing to work, and tells me the truth as they see it.
John Yarmuth
Whatever feminists may say about their only advocating choices, everyone knows the truth: Feminism regards work outside the home as more elevating, honorable, and personally productive than full-time mothering and making a home.
Dennis Prager
For two extraordinary years I have been working on it - learning to write - but mostly learning how to tell the truth. At first it is quite impossible. You make yourself better than anybody, then worse than anybody, and when you finally come to see you are "like" everybody - that is the bitterest blow of all to the ego. But in the end it is only the truth, no matter how ugly or shameful, that is right, that fits together, that makes real people, and strangely enough - beauty.
Louise Brooks
Christ offers more! Indeed he offers everything! Only he who is the Truth can be the Way and hence also the Life.
Pope Benedict XVI
